Water

Water: Cruciata thrives in moist environments, requiring consistent hydration. Water weekly to maintain lightly moist soil without waterlogging. Smooth transitions between watering are crucial for health. As an outdoor plant, cruciata benefits from natural rainfall, supporting its moisture needs during the growing season.

Propagation: Propagating cruciata can be done through seeds, division, or cuttings. Key factors include proper light, temperature, and well-draining soil. Seeds should be sown late winter, while divisions and cuttings require careful handling and the use of rooting hormone for optimal success.
